Matthieu Blazy has designed just four collections for Chanel since his spring 2026 debut in September, but his tenure has already proven massively influential. Rumor has it the fashion crowd licked the shelves clean in Paris as soon as the first designs hit stores.
Collections this strong are bound to spark a trend or two, and those eager to bask in the Blazy glow may already be looking to the runways for styling cues. One easy place to start is with jewelry.
Since the Coco days, and well through Lagerfeld, Chanel has been known for piling on the gems and jewels. Blazy has embraced this maximalist ethos, adding his own more modern spin, and proposing new ways of styling classic Chanel pieces like statement earrings, chain necklaces, and chokers. Here, we walk you through the latest Chanel jewelry styling tricks.
A bold set of earrings easily transforms a dress or skirt set into an intentional moment.
Instead of taking one off, embrace a more-is-more mindset and layer one more on. Long, layered pendants and strands of pearls work well with both knits and ladylike jackets, as seen here.
Don't hide your bracelets and cuffs (or watches for that matter!)—rather, wear them boldly over your sleeves, be it a sweater, jacket, or long-sleeve dress.
Coordinating earrings and necklaces can at times feel a bit extra, but here Blazy proves it's just right when you keep the rest of your look simple and streamlined with tailoring.
A single statement piece—here, an intricate collar—is another way to anchor a look. It creates additional interest from the back, depending on the closure.
